The mystery of the downloadable content and pricing for Guitar Hero 2 is over: the first three song packs have been released over Xbox Live. Each song pack includes three songs and is priced at 500 points, which translates into the slightly awkward $6.25. Here is what the song packs will contain:

Pack 1

"Bark at the Moon"

"Hey You"

"Ace of Spades"

Pack 2

"Killer Queen"

"Take it Off"

"Frankenstein"

Pack 3

"Higher Ground"

"Infected"

"Stellar"

These are all solid songs from the first game and would do a good job of rounding out the Guitar Hero 2 song list. The price of around $2 per song isn't outrageous, but it isn't generous either. I'd also prefer they allow you to buy each song alone, instead of being forced into the bundles. It's also worth noting that if you bought every song in the original Guitar Hero at this rate, you'd pay $97.92. Not exactly a compelling deal.
